Europe Has Set A Deadline For Its Fleet Of Trucks And Other Heavy Vehicles To Have Biogas As A Fuel Source

Investing in fuels that ensure lower greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) is essential for the decarbonization of the transport sector. There is a growing number of projects in Europe to reduce heavy fleet emissions by 90% by 2040, for example.

Biogas, an organic fuel that can reduce truck pollution by up to 36%, has attracted Brazilian attention as it can be made from waste from other industries (50% from the sugar-alcohol sector and 30% from animal protein).
